The large axial field-of-view PET scanners, such as the United Imaging EXPLORER and the Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra, can experience severe image blur due to parallax artifacts. In this funded R01 grant, the XEIL Lab will address this via depth encoding by developing practical single-ended PET detector modules with depth-of-interaction localization using our novel right-angle prism mirror light guides, which enhance light sharing by efficient 180-degree bending of photon paths. We will also build a small-diameter prototype PET scanner to evaluate the imaging performance of Prism-PET detector modules.
